Abstract

Multidimensional gravitational model on the manifold M=M0×i=1nMiM = M_0 \times \prod_{i=1}^{n} M_i, where MiM_i are Einstein spaces (i1i \geq 1), is considered. The action contains m=2n1m = 2^n -1 dilatonic scalar fields ϕI\phi^I and mm (antisymmetric) forms AIA^I. When all fields and scale factors of the metric depend (essentially) on the point of M0M_0 and any AIA^I is "proportional" to the volume form of submanifold Mi1×...×MikM_{i_1} \times ... \times M_{i_k}, 1i1<...<ikn1 \leq i_1 < ... < i_k \leq n, the sigma-model representation is obtained. A family of "Majumdar-Papapetrou type" solutions are obtained, when all MνM_{\nu} are Ricci-flat. A special class of solutions (related to the solution of some Diophantus equation on dimensions of MνM_{\nu}) is singled out. Some examples of intersecting p-branes (e.g. solution with seven Euclidean 2-branes for D = 11 supergravity) are considered.}
